Two examples:    D Trump stated that the head of the Boy Scouts called him to say that his speech to the Scouting Jamboree was “the greatest speech ever” and to thank him.

The next day, Boy Scouts USA felt compelled to issue a statement saying this conversation never happened, and these compliments were fiction.

In recent days, D Trump also stated that the President of Mexico called him to praise US efforts to close the Mexican border, saying this had been a great help to Mexico in securing their southern border to Central American immigrants.

But then the Mexican President issued a statement denying that he had spoken to Trump since the G20 Summit, and especially did not compliment US immigration policies toward his country.

Here is the problem.   Trump’s mental state is such that he believes what he says is true, simply because he wants it to be so.   He has lost so much respect for the concepts of truthfulness & honesty that he routinely makes fictional statements that other people have told him he is admirable and exceptional in every way.   It’s complicated, but his personality disorder is such that he can sincerely make statements that are contradicted by facts, holding out & arguing for the correctness of what he has said… then sometimes following up with additional statements that are contradictory… but without acknowledging the overall pattern of fabrication & exaggeration.    For Trump, the concept of Truth is not a constant & concrete thing… in his mind, it varies with his wishes & mood.   Oddly, this is the same kind of political behavior that Trumpism hates in other political figures.

All this continues to point to the idea that Trump isn’t stable, nor does he have the required rationality needed in a President.
